Political violence is a big earner for Meta. In the 10 weeks after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump in July, advertisers paid between $593,000 and $813,000 for political ads on Facebook, according to reporting by nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqvuk0jef6j3t4y9c8zgx5ked4r98d253j5vxqspkaj34dp0zg9z0sla3yqm (nprofile…3yqm) and nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqwka6y92y6cfzg020689ed4p8udyzslghg6dxja8xxugndds5259qegarka (nprofile…arka). “There’s huge problems with their advertising broadly,” said Katie Paul, director of the Tech Transparency Project. “They’re profiting off of a lot of harmful things, really without any sort of repercussions.”
